Welcome 
TO the
Churches'
Ministerial
Counselling Service
Churches' Ministerial Counselling Service (CMCS) works with a network of professional counsellors operating in England, Scotland and Wales to offer subsidised support to ministers and their households.
Partner organisations in CMCS are the Baptist Union of Great Britain, the
Methodist Church, the Salvation Army, the Seventh Day Adventist Church,
the United
Reformed Church, the Anglican Dioceses of Derby, Exeter,
Guildford, Sheffield and Southwark, and
the Free Churches Group
(on behalf of smaller Free Church
denominations)
For more information on the services we
provide, see the About Us section.
To check who can receive counselling through CMCS, see the Eligibility pages.
Some of our counsellors now work partly or mainly online, or by telephone -
this page of the BACP website explains how to prepare for that situation
